Kate Watts has three plans for her last summer before college: make music, make ice cream, and make memories with her best friend. She needs these things to take her mind off her grandfather's illness, the upcoming college tuition she can't burden her grandparents with, and her flaky mom's random appearances in her life.

But then three new complications arrive to turn everything upside down:

Paisley, the cousin she barely knows, who shows up unexpectedly to stay for the summer.

The new boy in town Rory who both annoys and intrigues Kate at the same time.

And then the solution to the biggest problem of all–if only she gives up her biggest dream.

Kate's summer becomes a whirlwind of parties, facing the mother she thought she could live without, and falling for the guy she doesn't want to give her heart to. But when Kate begins to suspect that Paisley and Rory may be more than just acquaintances, how far will she go to unravel the truth?

The Truth About Boys is a companion novel to The Boyfriend Thief and The Secrets Between You and Me, and the third book in Shana Norris's Stolen Kiss collection.
